Police Vehicle Removed from Outside Pinarayi Vijayan’s Residence, Security Guards Remain
Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan denied claims that a police station operated from a non-functional police vehicle outside his Kannur residence, calling such reports fabricated and intended to humiliate him. The vehicle, deployed during his tenure as Chief Minister for security, was recently removed, though police guards remain stationed there. The makeshift post lacked basic facilities, and police personnel face challenges without the vehicle shelter. Officials have indicated decisions on security arrangements are under review by the State Security Commission.
